I have started buying 2gb cards now that the price has gone down. And I
always buy a spare battery and keep it charged as a backup.

Dear Comrades in Photography....

The Leica D Lux 3 has arrived. I am overwhelmed by what I DO NOT know about
operating this unit, and the digital world at large.

I am struggling with the manual. I've managed to actually capture an image,
transfer it to my computer (another challenge since I very recently bought
my first Mac after years (pre retirement) of using a PC with a secretary and
I.T. Guy to get me out of trouble). They are not great pictures, but I do
feel a major sense of accomplishment at getting this far.

Question: the camera came with a 64 memory card which I am learning is
roughly equivalent to a 12 exposure roll of film.  Where would you guys buy
more/bigger cards, and extra batteries if you were inclined to do so?

Holding the camera up and away from my face is going to challenge my
compositional skills. Tell me one gets used to this!!

Pictures later.. Hopefully

Cheers
Jack
